Steve C left this review about The Waldorf

The Waldorf has a bar on the rear wall that supports a premium and craft keg range alongside five handpumps. Four of these were drawing mainstream ales and the fifth was badged with Green Duck Brewery’s Hysteria, that was ‘coming soon’. Food is available, the burger is priced under £10.
In the middle of the pub is a supporting column with a beer shelf all around and tables are found throughout the open plan bar. There is a raised seating area to the side of the entrance and televisions are found throughout for watching live sport. Everyone was watching the match in progress during my recent midweek evening visit, but the sound was muted in favour of some background music. I found the service to be polite and I thought that this was one of the better pubs in the area.

Last time I was here it was a traditional old side street pub. It has now been booted firmly into the 21st century with modern furnishings and décor. This has certainly succeeded in doubling the size of the clientele (and probably halving their average age) but at considerable cost to its character. You can however still get a decent pint, with draught ale including Robinson's Trooper, Black Sheep Cold Turkey as well as Doom Bar and something else I cannot read in my notes! There is a separate food counter and a function room is signed upstairs.

Malden man left this review about The Waldorf

A single room with a three sided bar effectively turning the room into a U shape, all manner of seating, boarded flooring apart from a slightly raised section which was carpeted and had an exposed brick fireplace containing a stove. Décor had a few framed bits of interest, a high shelf with a few jars, some tatty old books and a suitcase. There were a few whisky boxes above the fireplace. The far side of the room had a bit of equipment seemingly set up for a live gig but no sign of anybody and no posters up, very quiet indeed on a Wednesday evening with three or four grumpy punters on stools at the bar.
Landlord, some wheat beer from Howard Town Brewery plus something called "Bees Knees" written on a blank pump clip. It's possibly a good pub with a few in and a bit of atmosphere but it was as flat as anything this time and I found it all rather underwhelming.

Seemed to be getting some work done on the interior as there were power tools, workbenches, paint and dust everywhere. Sadly the beer also needed some work done on it. There was no real ale on today though I believe it does sell it.

Called in on Friday to see if anything had changed after a very poor experience a couple of years ago with both beer quality and clientele. Has had a bit of a spruce up since last time I was in, which is good news as it certainly needed it. On Friday, early evening the pub was full of a mixture of suits and shoppers, plus a couple of regulars. Four handpumps on the bar, but only 3 on. I had a pint of T imothy Taylors Landlord which was OK, but not really top notch. It's probably worth calling in for one again now.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Waldorf

Close to Piccadilly station, and well worth the short walk. Lots of dark wood - floors, walls, tables and chairs - but a nice pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord.

Located close enough to Piccadilly station to be a good alternative to the awful bar on the station concourse. You'll find it down a side street on the left hand side near the Malmaison Hotel. Large bar with separate areas including a raised “snug”. Lots of wood panelling and comfortable seating. Function room upstairs. Real ales available including Taylors Landlord and Cally XPA when we were there. Large screen for sports.

The Waldorf is tucked away on a side street not too far from Piccadilly station.
I did'nt like the look of this pub from the outside but once inside i was quite surprised as it was quite a nice comfortable pub,there were two real ales on the bar i had a drink of Black Sheep bitter and this was a fairly nice drink the other beer was Boddingtons bitter.
